2. SOUTH PACIFIC AREA (WEST COAST OF SOUTH AMERICA TO 135 EAST):
   A. TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY: NONE.
   B. TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY:
      (1) THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 95P) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED
NEAR 8.0S 171.5E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 8.5S 172.7E, APPROXIMATELY 610
NM NORTH-NORTHEAST OF PORT VILA, VANUATU. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS BUILDING DEEP CONVECTION OVER A SLIGHTLY
ELONGATED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION (LLC). A 161529Z SSMI F-15 85GHZ
MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWS THE SLIGHTLY ELONGATED LLC WITH A SMALL AREA
OF DEEP CONVECTION. A 152206Z METOP-A ASCAT PASS SHOWS SOME
SCATTERED 20 KNOT WINDS AMONGST THE PREDOMINANT 15 KNOT WINDS. 95P
IS IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH MODERATE 15 TO 20 KNOT VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR OFFSET BY EXCELLENT POLEWARD OUTFLOW AND VERY WARM (29 TO
30 CELSIUS) SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN MODERATE
AGREEMENT THAT THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK GENERALLY SOUTHWARD
WITH SOME MINOR INTENSIFICATION BEFORE DISSIPATING. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1007 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
HOURS IS UPGRADED TO MEDIUM.
